Brazil led Honduras 3-0 at half-time but it's that quickfire goal that will take all the headlines in Rio.

The Hondurans played the ball backward on the kick-off only to have Neymar intercept the lazy pass. He found himself one-on-one with goalkeeper Luis Lopez and deftly got a touch on the ball before Lopez crashed into him in mid-air.

Lopez stopped Neymar but he didn’t stop the ball, as it bounded slowly into the goal for a 1-0 Brazil lead.

Neymar got the worst of the collision and stayed on the ground. He even had to be stretchered off the field but immediately got up as soon as he was brought across the touchline. Maracana cheered when Neymar ran to the center line and re-entered the game.

Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus grabbed the other two goals for Brazil in a first half in which Honduras got nowhere near their opponents.

And just after the break Marquinhos scored from a corner to make it 4-0.

It was all one-way traffic as the Brazilians, running into form after a rocky start to the tournament, began to hit top form.
